SoS; January 2018.

Did you try to pull the knot?

No. I didn't dare to mess with it because I've never re-knotted a brush and since this one is somehow a 'tricky' one, I wanted to put it in the hands of someone who is experienced in working with brush revamps.

I sure wish this virus would go away. It's hard to stand up without feeling woozy and shave. Besides that, this was the first time using this blade, and for not shaving for a few days, it really took care of that beard. Two passes with minimal touch up for a really smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

 

Good setup and picture Jim.

 

Thank you Douglas.

 

I hope you feel better soon.

We have had an uncharacteristic cold week here in Florida! Going to at least get my mind in the Beach Frame of mind! This was such an excellent combination! Love these Bic blades too

Doug!

Not only did I have a good shave today, but the temp got up to 53F.

 

PARADIGM :: MRed :: LE PÈRE LUCIEN
Had a fantastic two pass shave with the Paradigm. The MRed brush (no. 006 of course) is a nice tight 2-band bulb on some very unique juniper. The LPL lather was thin, but performed well with great post shave feel. The AS made my skin slightly tacky for a moment but left a velvety finish.​
